This is an awesome thread for highlighting these games, and showing the similarities and differences.
I think it's unfair when some of these games get called Zelda clones, though. There's an unhealthy tendency to view history around Nintendo games in recent years. Golden Axe Warrior is certainly a blatant one but stuff like Golvellius differs a lot, and most of its similarities are just shared genre conventions that predate Zelda.
